Jim Mailand, Consultant with Bonestroo Spoas, referred to a park drawing and indicated this process began in August 2003. He described the surveys completed and the public meetings held. This design evolved around having a safer facility, while preserving athletic fields. The fields are arranged in a wagon wheel fashion, including a little league field and T-ball field, circulated with about two miles of pathways. On the east park side the plan incorporates a football/soccer field and baseball field as active components. Parking needs were looked at carefully. Included is a concession/score building. There are activity areas, senior area, bocce/horseshoe, gazebo, and patio ~.~f0Parking below Murzyn Hall has been moved slightly City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 7 of 22 to the west, maintaining ADA parking. The new part of the park is land that is in the process of being acquired for a passive area, pond, island, and an area for picnicking and hiking. Wyckoff questioned acquisition of this property. Hansen stated the ponding area is part of the new industrial area in exchange for storm ponding. Mailand stated this also incorporates a home on Mill Street. Hansen stated that the city does o'am that property. Mailand described the play area for family activities and the east area with a warming house/skate area. There would be an active water spray feature, requiring no supervision as there would be no standing water. He indicated a small area for ponding for major water storms, and stated the intent to light the ballfields. Mailand refen'ed to the cost summary given to Council. Site preparation, ballfield fine grading, parking, trails, playground areas, ponding, site improvements, gazebo, picnic area are estimated at $1,650,000. Items to be phased in would be the concession building, warming house, and bridge to the island at over $1,000,000, trail lighting at about $360,000, and field lighting at about $420,000. The water spray feature would be $250,000, with an overall total preliminat3r cost at $3,700,000. This would include contingencies. Hansen recognized funding availability and suggested phasing begin with the $1,600,000 portion. He indicated lighting is a big component. With industrial park dedication and our park dedication fund, sale of Lomianki and grant applications this would not be unreasonable to do in a one to three year phasing. Initially the project was estimated at $2,600,000, but costs have come in at a higher amount. Lighting and the water play feature are the expensive items. The scores building was designed with a second floor and there are other amenities that could be looked at for cost reductions. The plan shown to Council in August showed potential for redevelopment of four residential lots. This has been taken out, but in the future would be recommended as a separate line item. Hansen asked for adoption ora master plan, as grant applications are due by March 31 ~t and indicated the importance of Council support to obtain DNR grant dollars. Hansen stated that 100 parcels were notified of tonight's meeting. Wyckoffasked how fields could be used with no lighting and what the anticipated grant amount would be. Hansen stated the importance of lighting and the need to include it in the initial phasing. The most grant fimds received in a year would be $250,000. Ericson asked for clarification that approval of the concept plan is not a commitment of money. Hansen confirmed this and indicated the request is to use this plan within the grant application, but it could still be changed. Wyckoffreferred to the need tbr a recreational building. Mailand stated there is limited space and consideration at meetings held indicated a different location would be best. Hansen stated the strong request bom the public was to include trails for walking and jogging. Nawrocki questioned where the Jamboree would be held. Hansen stated in the Murzyn Hall parking lot or on Jefferson Street, as it is now. Mailand stated that the trails provide room for these events, allowing for tents and other venues on the eight foot wide trails. Nawrocki questioned architectural and engineering fees. Hansen stated those fees and construction would be an additional fifteen percent. Nawrocki indicated that we may have to use the Lomianki sale funds for operations and it is premature to approve this plan tonight. Wyckoffindicated this is the first time Council has seen this plan in any detail and asked if it could be held off until January, allowing people time to stop in and look at the plan. Ericson asked that the public process be reiterated. Hansen again described the process. Kelzenberg stated that he liked the plan and would have no problem approving it, but felt it should wait for the new Council to review. Ell City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 8 of 22 Williams questioned the roadway cost. Hansen stated that is a separate item to also be discussed at this meeting. The roadway and infrastructure estimates are $3,000,000. Fehst stated it is conceivable to do the roadway and not do anything on the park or substantially less than shown. The roadway deals with the TIF project and is different from this. Harold Hoium, 4315 5m Street, questioned fire access issues. Hansen asked that this be discussed with the road feasibility report. A resident from 39th and Jackson stated that this is a nice plan, but costs a lot. Ericson stated the understanding that the plan would be tabled, but indicated the importance that as a Council they make a commitment. We collect park dedication fees, and we want to attract people. She indicated that we do not have all the funds, but this is the area to find creative ways for funding. Ericson stated that this must be a priority early in the new year. Wyckoff asked that the plan be available for viewing at City hall. Hansen stated that it can also be available at the L~rary and on Cable TV. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to table discussion of the Huset Park Master Plan. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Ericson, nay; Nawrocki, aye; Wyckoffaye. Four ayes - one nay. Motion carried. Public Hearing - Adopt Resolution No.2004-83, being a resolution approving Reallocation of CDBG funds from the sale of 4607 Tyler Mark Nagel, Community Development Assistant, stated this is a reallocation of block grant funds from 4607 Tyler St, and NEI, allowing $32,000 for the demolition of Burger King and $3,400 for the MG building, through Anoka County. Ericson stated the options are to rent out the properties or make way for new development. Nawrocki questioned the fund short fall on the MG store. Fehst stated that we paid $225,000 and received $165,000 from the Block Grant and Tyler sale. Nagel indicated that $81,000 was used for NEI, so we are requesting reallocation of the remaining fund. Nawrocki indicated it would be more prudent to use CDBG funds for 40~ Avenue. Randy Schumacher, Assistant Community Development Director, indicated that the closing of MG is scheduled for a cost of $220,000. This reallocation is for surplus CDBG dollars to be used for the removal of that particular building, estimated at $12,000 to $15,000. The recommendation is to put some Block Grant funds into each project. A developer's agreement, which is not yet in place, would make up the remaining $75,000. Nawrocki stated it would seem more viable to put in a project at 40th than at Burger King. Ericson stated that if we do develop on 40th Avenue, we would get the dollars required. Wyckoff asked Tom Letness the status of adding on more movie theaters at this site. He stated it is still a go and is looking at financing. Nagel indicated there has been interest shown in purchasing the play equipment and possible sale of internal items. Motion by Nawrocki to waive the reading of Resolution 2004-83, with deletion of the language in the third and fourth section to eliminate Burger King, there being an ample amount of copies available to the public. Second by Williams. Upon vote: AH ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Nawrocki, second by Williams, to adopt Resolution 2004-83, being a Resolution Authorizing a Reallocation of Community Development Block Grant Funding through Anoka County, with deletion of the language in the third and fourth section to eliminate Burger King. P. 12 City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 9 of 22 Ericson stated she would not vote in favor of the amended resolution, when the initial intent was to buy the building. CDBG should be used to demolish Burger King to make it more desirable for developers and to ease redevelopment. Williams asked if we have purchased Burger King. Nagel stated that we have a purchase agreement, and will close in the next 30 days. Nagel stated that we would close before the reallocation demolition funds run out. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, nay; Williams, aye; Ericson, nay; Nawrocki, aye; Wyckoff, nay. 3 nays - 2 ayes. Motion failed. Mayor Wyckoffclosed the Public Hearing. Motion by Ericson, second Kelzenberg, to waive the reading of Resolution 2004-83, there being an ample amount of copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carded.

Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Ericson, to adopt Ordinance No. 1478 being an Ordinance changing the street name of Rainer Pass to Rainier Pass. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Ericson, aye; Nawrocki, aye; Wyckoff, aye. All ayes. Motion carried. ORDIi~ANCE NO. 1478 BEING AN ORDINANCE CHANGING THE STREET NAME OF RAINER PASS TO RAINIER PASS The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1: The name of Rainer Pass from Innsbruck Parkway to the north corporate limit of the City is hereby changed and shall hereafter be known and renamed as Rainier Pass. Section 2: This ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after thirty (30) days after its passage. Adopt Resolution No. 2004-92, being a resolution establishing Property_ Maintenance Inspection Fees Fehst stated that rental units are inspected once every two years and residential inspections are done on a quadrant basis. The current cost of inspections is $129,000 per year, with only $36,000 collected in fees. The resolution shows three proposals/alternatives for consideration to increase fees to help cover costs. The Fire Dept recommends the highest rate, proposal 3A, netting $116,000 or 3B at $117,000. Proposal 1 increases collection to $70,000 and proposal 2 to $93,000. Any increase would be a direct offset to the budget, and the levy could be reduced by this mount. This service cost is substantial and if Council wishes to recover costs where incurred, this is the way to do it. Fehst listed items t~om the residential maintenance code operating expense table. Gary Gorman, Assistant Fire Chief, indicated that landlords have not received this information. Wyckoffstated that the cost would be $22 per rental unit yearly, with license and revocation fees remaining the same. Ericson questioned re-inspection fees. Gorman stated the goal is to not have second and third inspections, with only one re-inspection leading to abatement or revocation. Kelzenberg suggested reducing the cost of certified mail by not requiring return of the green card, and rather checking the status on-line. Lee Stauch, 1155 Khyber Lane, disputed the cost to inspect a rental unit, and the amount of time fire fighters spend on this duty. Fehst stated this is a service fee, and we are fair and accurate on the projections. Stauch questioned what nursing homes pay in taxes. Fehst stated he could get him this information. Stauch stated that this increase was not mentioned at the December 7~ landlords meeting. Deb Johnson, 4626 Pierce, stated that fees should go up dramatically, which may help get rid of slumlords. Hoium stated that the landlords should be notified 30 days in advance of any changes. Nawrocki indicated this would be a large cost to building, such as the one with 146 units. Fehst stated that the impetus was from Council for the cost of services to be covered by fees. Wyckoff stated these fees would bring us equal to Brooklyn Center, with only Crystal being higher. Gorman handed out community comparison information showing that we are the second lowest for single units and fourth lowest for duplexes. Anoka and Osseo do not have rental licensing fees. The highest percentage of work comes in from complaints on storage, o~rh~,~. ~P. 14~'-' yard problems, etc. City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 11 of 22 Nawrocki asked ifa comparison of costs to carry out the program was done and challenged the cost allocation. Gorman stated that is the amount in the budget. Nawrocki referred to the reduction of waste hauler fees for these units. He stated he could not justify these rates. Fehst read the cost per month for dumpster service for multi-unit trash service. Nawrocki questioned what the rates for multiple units are per 'unit and the s~e of vat compared to residential rates. Ericson stated that the garbage issue is interesting and should be looked at separately. She indicated that proposal 3B would be more than double that of communities around us. Ericson indicated that the cost of doing business is the cost of doing business and we should not be afraid to charge people our cost. We should have well kept rental property and this can be done through the inspection program, while getting the cost fi:om the user. Wyckoffquestioned small versus large complex costs. Gorman stated that currently bigger complexes pay $6 to $7 per unit and a two unit pays $35 per unit. This proposal would spread the cost over all units. Wyckoff suggested taking the proposal to the landlords for feedback. Ericson questioned why we should do so if this is the cost of doing business. Kelzenberg stated that the landlords should cover costs, but we could compromise and not have the landlord pay all of the cost, as it is a benefit to the City when property is maintained. Gorman stated that landlords would not pay the entire cost in any of these proposals. Nawrocki stated he did not accept these numbers as our actual cost. The cost of inspections will only be passed on to the tenants. Vat service to these buildings will also increase on January 1. Williams indicated there are more costs not mentioned such as administrative and Council time. Fehst stated they also do not include the Special Project Coordinator's or CSO's time spent on complaints. Fehst stated it is hard to justify a large increase in one year. Williams complimented Gorman and suggested we discuss this with the landlords. Nawroeki questioned if each Parkview Villa unit is inspected every second year. Gorman stated yes, and sooner if a complaint is received. Motion by Williams (on proposal 3B), second by Ericson, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2004-92, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Williams (on proposal 3B), second by Ericson, to adopt Resolution No. 2004-92 being a Resolution establishing Property Maintenance Inspection Fees. Ericson clarified where this would put us in comparison to other communities. City Attorney Jim Hoeit indicated the issue is the ability to justify the cost of the program, not where you end up on the list. Hoium asked that this be tabled to notify property owners. Stauch stated that raising the fees without input fi:om those paying them is a dictatorship. Ericson stated that we have a representative democracy. Gorman indicated the objective to spread the cost of inspections over all units. Ericson discussed combining alternatives 1 and 3B. Wyckoffagreed more discussion was necessary. If we approve an increase, what would the notification requirements be. Hoeft stated there were no requirements. P. 15 City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 12 of 22 Ericson stated that we could move to table this item. Heoft stated that would be a priority motion and would supercede the motion on the floor. Fehst stated that we could send out these options to the landlords. Ericson questioned why we should give them special treatment, as it is the cost of being in our community. We don't consult other groups when we raise their fees. Motion by Williams to table a resolution establishing Property Maintenance Inspection Fees for further discussion. Second by Ericson. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion earrled. Mayor Wyckoffmoved forward on the agenda to item Cl. 7C Other Business 1) Adopt Resolution No. 2004-91, being a Resolution accepting the feasibility report for Huset parkway and ordering the preparation of plans and specifications. Hansen stated that a study was done two years ago regarding necessary public improvements to the industrial area, and was adopted in 2003. This included discussion of a parkway. The industrial area redevelopment ground breaking ceremony was held last week. Sue Mason, SEH, congratulated the City Council and community on the ground breaking last Thursday. She referred to the report reviewing roadway/utilities and funding options. It covers sewer/water capacity, drainage/water flooding, individual traffic impact study, and intersections. Sewer and water capacities are fine for the change in the land use. There is a 10 inch water main on 5th Avenue that has a high degree of flow loss, and is proposed for replacement. The pond would handle a 2 to 3 inch rainfall and reduce a peak discharge to Minneapolis. The pedestrian walkway would connect to Huset Park. Mason referred to the project cost smmnm~. The sanitary sewer costs are for minor repairs to pipes and the water main. Services to the buildings would be the developer's responsibility. The roadway total project cost for first phase is $3,000,000 with ten percent contingencies, by the developer paying $1,700,000 and the City paying $1,400,000. This would include engineering and legal costs. Williams questioned the estimate of the second phase. Mason stated that because the park plan is not ready to go, there would be $500,000 deducted for the connection to the park. Wyckoffasked Hansen what adopting this would mean. Hansen stated the necessity to adopt this is the 429 process to assess the developer, and to move forward on plans and specifications. He referred to the estimated time l~ame. Nawrocki stated that the City is being asked to absorb a disproportionate cost by replacing the water main, which is adequate. This developer should cover the cost like the Kmart developer did. Hansen stated that K-mart was a capacity issue, and this is not. Staff looked at this line and there is a 40 percent buildup. Hansen stated that we do this analysis for all reconstruction areas. Kelzenberg thanked Hansen and stated it looks like a 50/50 split and proportionate for what needs to be done for this development to happen. Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Ericson, to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2004-91, there being ample copies available to the public. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. Motion by Kelzenberg, second by Ericson, to adopt Resolution No. 2004-91, being a Resolution accepting the feasibility report for Huset Par¢:]~g' and ordering the preparation of plans and City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 13 of 22 specifications. Nawrocki asked where the City portion would come from. Hansen indicated the City utility funds and the City State Aid account. Nawroeld requested a rtmning cost total on this project. Nawrocki questioned the current balance in the State Aid fund. Hansen stated very little and that we would be required to bo~ow an advance for a community projects, which would have a two year paybaek. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Ericson, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Wyckoff, aye. 4 ayes- 1 nay. Motion carried. RESOLUTION NO. 2004-91 BEING A RESOLUTION ACCEPTING THE FEASIBILITY REPORT AND ORDERING THE PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECS FOR THE HUSET PARKWAY WHEREAS, The Huset Parkway is a roadway along Jefferson Street bom 40th Avenue to 39z Avenue, continuing west to 5~ Street, and then continuing Southwest along an abandoned raikoad right-of-way connecting to 37z Avenue. WHEREAS, the report provides information regarding whether the proposed project is feas~le, necessary and cost effective, and The City Council of Columbia Heights hereby receives said report on December 13, 2004. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 1. The Council will consider the improvement of such streets in accordance with the report and the assessment of abutting or benefited property for ail or a portion of the cost of the improvement pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 429 at an estimated total cost of the improvement of $3,085,000. 2. A public hearing shall be held on such proposed improvements in the City Council Chambers at 590 40t~ Avenue N.E. and the City Clerk shah give mailed and published notice of such hearing and improvement as required by law. 3. That the location and extent of such improvements is as follows: The Huset Parkway is a roadway along Jefferson Street bom 40t~ Avenue to 39a Avenue, continuing west to 5t~ Street, and then continuing southwest along an abandonedrailroad right-of~way connecting to 37~ Avenue. Work includes required utility reconstruction, sub-base correction, new aggregate base, new bitum~ous surfacing, new concrete curb and gutter, pond constmctien, bituminous trail and sidewalk construction, tree planting, a roundabout, restoration, miscellaneous construction items and appurtenances. 4. Such improvement is necessary., cost-effective, and feasible as detailed in the feasibility report. 5. Such improvement is hereby ordered as proposed in the engineering feasibility report December 6*, 2004, as prepared by the firm of SEH and accepted by the council December 13~, 2004. 6. These improvements shall also be known as City Project No 2004-04. 7. The consulting firm of SEH and the City Engineer, Kevin Hansen, is hereby designated as the engineer(s) for this improvement. The engineer shall prepare plans and specifications for the making of such improvement. 2) Authorize engineering final design services for Huset Parkway. Hansen indicated that four firms were initially interviewed, with SEH approved to do the feasibility report in coordination with the developer. As they have done this work on the project, it is appropriate they take us through the rest of the project. The cost would be eight percent of the total engineering costs. Central Avenue engineering services were 21 percent. Staff recommended approval of SEH for f'mal design services. Nawrocki indicated this is $220,000 worth of work that we do not have a bid on. City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 14 of 22 Final Design based upon their proposal dated November 30t~ 2004, in an amount not-to-exceed $222,800; and furthermore, to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into an agreement for the same. Nawrocki stated that any agreement for that amount of money, without the competitive proposal process, is not in the City's best interest. Williams asked Hansen's response to Na-~ocki's statement. Hansen stated this is similar to the Central Avenue process allowing, due to the complexity of the project, continuation with the same firm. Professional services do not require bidding, but negotiation or proposal basis. Hansen stated that eight percent is typical for design services. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, aye; Ericson, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Wyckoff, aye. 4 ayes - 1 nay. Motion carried. 3) Suspension of Tobacco License for Oasis Market Hoef~ stated this suspension is self-explanatory, with the only question being the length of the suspension and when it would take place. City ordinance states it must be seven days. The licensing clerk requests the suspension be in December and not carried into the new year. Manager Rick Nestive, 5548 Morgan Avenue, Brooklyn Center and Area Manager Josha Severson, 5276 18th Street, Princeton, of the Oasis Market were present to state that the cashier did card the customer and misread the date. All dates are now put into the computer system and verified on the tape. The Area Manager indicated this was an extreme ptmishment to them for an employee's mistake. The employee has been terminated. Williams stated he also deals with this situation and asked if the City can be more lenient. Hoef~ stated the suspension is based on a third violation in 24 months. Ericson stated it is harsh, but the cost of doing business. Ericson stated that we have policies and consequences that we have ~ obligation to follow. Hoef[ stated that our ordinance calls for a minimum seven day suspension, or greater. He pointed out that this process rarely comes forward. Police Chief Tom Johnson listed the dates and fines leading to this suspension request. Ericson questioned how we will control the suspension of sales. Johnson stated that ali product will be removed t~om view and the store, will be monitored by patrol officers and plain clothes officers. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to suspend the license to sell Cigarettes/Tobacco products of Twin Cities Avanti Stores LLC dba Oasis Market for a period of 7 days, ~om December 20 through 26, 2004. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion earried. Appeal of decision to deny the 2005 Renewal of Cigarette/Tobacco license for Salem Tobacco Carl Newquist, legal representative for Mr. Salem, indicated that Mr. Salem advised he wishes to withdraw his appeal. Newquist stated the store will close December 31, 2004. 5) Appeal of decision to deny the 2005 Renewal of Cigarette/Tobacco License for Jerusalem Caf6 Zahira Aquel, Jerusalem Caf6, and her legal representative Carl Newquist appealed denial of her tobacco license, which was denied based on her employment of Mr. Salem. Aquel has discharged Mr. Salem as of November 30~ and as such requests reconsideration to grant a tobacco license. The store only sells small mounts of pipe tobacco. Chief Johnson indicated that with the termination of Mr. Salem, he finds nothing that would stop license approval. Wyckoffquestioned the consequences if he returns. Hoeft stated that Mr. Salem can have no ownership or involvement in the business, which would be the responsibility of the owner. P. 18 City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 15 of 22 Nawrocki questioned if this should be suspended for violation. Hoett stated that there is no violation. Mr. Salem was an employee and his involvement stopped the re-licensing procedure. Motion by Williams, second by Kelzenberg, to approve the 2005 application for a Cigarette/Tobacco License for Ms. Zahira Aquel, dba Jerusalem Caf~ operating at 4921 Central Avenue NE based on the recommendation of the Police Department and the understanding that Mr. Salem not be any part of the business, ownership or employment. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried. 6) Discussion of additional citizen appointments to the EDA Wyckoff suggested this be discussed next year with the new City Council. Nawrocki stated that the EDA makes decisions for the community involving millions of dollars and it is important that elected officials are responsible for actions taken. Wyckoffdisagreed, stating that most decisions by the EDA have to come before the City Council and she would prefer more citizen input. 7) Adopt Resolution No. 2004-84, being a resolution adopting a budget for 2005, setting the CiW, Library_ and EDA lew at $6,241,986 and approving the I-IRA levy of $161,363 Fehst stated that there were more than a dozen meetings to discuss the budget. He initially recommended fi:eezing expenditures at the 2004 level for 2005 and 2006, and an increase in 2007 of three percent. This would have resulted in a less than ten percent levy to the County, and with the fiscal disparities and the homestead credit this would have resulted in a 14 percent tax increase. Fehst stated that on a three to two vote the City Council included a $250,000 cost of living increase. Another alternative, with an $114,000 list of add-backs, was presented for Council consideration, along with an alternative to use fund balance amounts. Wyekoff stated that alternate motion two lowers the proposed tax levy, does not use fund balances, adds back one police officer, leaves the special projects coordinator at 40 hours per week, increases the level of the planner, hires a full time building official, helps with family health insurance coverage, and adds back the library summer reading program. Wyckoffindicated she did not want to use reserve funds. She stated her support for alternate motion #2. Nawrocki gave the history of levies and improvements since he began on the City Council in 1961. He stated that we have lost state aid and this will not improve. Last year the levy was 20 percent and this consideration is another 15 percent. Any changes should be from the document approved last August. Nawrocki asked what reductions were proposed. Fehst indicated a reduction in the Mayor/Council budget and special event projects; and increasing the special project coordinator position, adding a police officer, increasing family health coverage, library summer reading program, upgrading the city planner position, and adding a full time building inspector for a total of $136,000. This is a reduction in the $6,241,986 by $136,000 for a new amount of $6,102,537. Nawrocki stated that the City Council cut travel and national memberships and that every department budget should be reduced by the same percentage, Nawrocki stated that per the Stanton Report we do not need the increase to a top planner, or to add another person for inspections. Nawrocki asked the rational to maintain the special projects coordinator at 40 hours when staff recommended the reduction. Fehst stated that the coordinator does an excellent job. The reduction was recommended because the manager's office was required to make the same cuts as other departments. Wyckoffstated that Jean Kuehn is a valuable employee. Nawrocki stated that Council did not dig into the budget. Nawrocki indicated that he has sat through 35 budgets and this is the poorest job ever done evaluating the budget for the city. He pointed out that the Assistant Public Works director and Assistant Finance Director position were filled, not following the staffinl~' ~uction by attrition. He stated he has no problem City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 16 of 22 adding back a police officer as suggested in August, but does not know if the other officer should be added. The people we have working for the city are good people that do a good job. Over the years we have made good changes and progress in the city with services provided, but like a family, when costs go up you must make tough decisions. Wyckoffindicated that Councilmember Nawrocki states every year that this is the worst budget process. Williams stated his recollection that the Values First program was cut. He felt is should be removed as Council has not stood up to our Values First program. Ericson stated that just because Council has not lived by these values, it does not mean the program should stop. They should be invited to attend more often. Nawrocki asked how many Anoka County cities are involved. Police Chief Tom Johnson stated that there are several different consortiums involved in Anoka County. Kelzenberg indicated his disappointment in the budget meetings held as there was a problem with not being open-minded. He stated that every time he suggested selling Parkview Villa to save $600,000 it was dismissed. We are now paying for coupon bonds that should have been paid long ago. Ericson stated that residents realize Council spends a lot of time on the budget and can not satisfy everyone. We need to learn from and pay attention to our past. Regarding the Clinton Cop program and removal through attrition, we are not bound to that as we are responsible to our citizens today in the world following 9/11. Rather than looking back at decisions, we must look at our community today. Ericson indicated that different family structures have a different perspective of what they want in City services. We have great development oppommities in the K-mart area, and the industrial park. We need to look at creative ways to pay for some budget items, such as user fees. Ericson stated that we need to have a positive attitude. She stated that she did not hear Mr. Gorman bad mouth the community, but speak passionately about the city. Nawrocki stated that he did. Ericson indicated it is in the perspective. Cheryl Beck, 4321 Reservoir, expressed disappointment in this process. Hoium questioned the $643,000 in the Community Development construction fund. Bill Elrite, Finance Director, indicated the breakdown would be in the detailed budget book. Wyckoff requested a motion to adopt the $6,102,537 budget, which includes $161,366 in add backs. Ericson stated that one alternative allows the City Manager's budget as proposed, another includes add-backs in the levy, and the other uses fund balances. Ericson asked what remains in the 2004 budget. Fehst stated he anticipated under spending the 2004 budget by $200,000. Fehst stated the option to use the savings from this year with his proposed budget, or the alternative, to increase taxes below the original levy limit. Elrite indicated that the expenditures in all resolution options do include the add backs; the question is whether to levy for the full amount or use fund balances for add backs. Alternative #2 covers add backs through an increase in the levy, but would still be $136,000 less than levied in September. Ericson asked the difference in the impact of a $150,000 increase versus $136,000. Elrite stated on an average home the increase would be $12 dollars per month, and if we levy only for add backs it would reduce to an increase of $10 per month, and to city manager's budget with fund balances it would be $8 per month. Fehst indicated that we are paying heavily fo3.~alf time building official, and with this we would City Council Minutes December 13, 2004 Page 17 of 22 have a full time official. This would still not include a person to administer the Point Of Sale program, but would propose to pay for that service by fees charged. Nawrocki stated that most weeks we pay for more than a half time position. Motion by Kelzenberg to waive the reading of Resolution No. 2004-84, with the $5,991,986 option. Ericson clarified that this would be the City Manager's recommendation and the addition of $200,000, resulting in a 14.6 percent levy. Second by Ericson. Upon vote: All ayes. Motion carried.

Wyckoff stated she did not agree with this, as it allows no wiggle room and the city has a lot to do to get back on its feet. Nawrocki questioned the county levy to be canceled. Elrite stated that this includes public improvement bonds, when sold, go to the county auditor and the levy, this says we have collected enough in assessments to cancel the levy. Nawrocki questioned the amount and if this would reduce the 14 percent. Elrite stated $300,000 and if not canceled it would increase significantly. Nawrocki stated he would support this if the $114,000 were not put in at this time and next year we could add or subtract with additional fimding coming from the general fund. Elrite indicated that if we wait until next year this would require a 4/5 vote, but as part of the budget requires only a 3/5 vote. Elrite referred to the expenses that include the add backs. Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, nay; Ericson, aye; Nawrocki, nay; Wyckoff, nay. 3 nays - 2 ayes. Motion failed. Ericson stated that of the three recommended motions, this one allowed for the lowest increase in taxes, and failed. Nawrocki stated that a 15 percent increase is too much. Ericson stated that she was shocked that Williams and Nawrocki, who keep talking less taxes, did not vote in favor of this motion. Motion by Kelzenberg to sell Parlcview Villa, build a community center, and raise taxes only six percent. Motion failed for lack of a second. Nawrocki stated his understanding that 15 percent is less than 20 percent, but feels it is still too high. Ericson asked Councilmember Nawrocki what he wanted, to which he did not reply. Motion by Wyckoffto waive the reading of Resolution No. 2004-°o4, with the $6,201,537 option. Second by Kelzenberg. Williams stated that Council should have worked hard, but took the easy way out.

Upon vote: Kelzenberg, aye; Williams, nay; Ericson, aye; Nawrock[, nay; Wyckoff, aye. 3 ayes - 2 nays. Motion carried. Nawrocki stated that this would mean an 18 percent increase in property taxes for 2005. Wyckoffstated that resident's taxes would be lower than the mount they received in the mail from Anoka County.

OLD BUSINESS COLUMBIA HEIGHTS LION'S CLUB BAR Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, discussed with the Commission and Lion's Club members in attendance the future of the bar. He also explained the City needs to look at any way we can make more revenue to off set the local government aid cuts from the P. 32 PAGE TWO State. Current renter concerns are being able to purchase one keg and/or wine for their guests. The current method of payment is ticket purchase with no option to have a free- to-guest keg of beer that would be paid for by the renters. Lion's Member, Don Laufenberg, stated that the reason for using tickets as a method of payment is that it is the most honest way to prove how much alcohol was purchased per event. City Manager, Walt Fehst, stated that he would to have more options for making money in regards to the bar. One possible proposal would be for JPM to receive a percentage off of bars and caterers. Don Laufenberg questioned if open bar rentals would be charged the same percentage as a Lion's bar would be charged. Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, stated that any percentage mnount charged would be charged equally across the board. Council Member, Bruce Nawrocki, noted that JPM was built with the intent of the building being for the community and is not to be a moneymaker. Walt Fehst said that in order to offset the operating costs for JPM, revenue would need to be generated. Another possible proposal would be for the City to take over the bars entirely at JPM. Don Laufenberg questioned the City's ability to make money off of the bars due to the fact that bartenders would have to be paid and the City would have to pay for dram shop insurance. It was also noted that if the Columbia Heights Lion's Club loses the bars at JPM they will no longer be able to ~n the Columbia Heights Jamboree, donate money for scholarships, for the community. The City Manager suggested that the City give the Lion's enough money to mn the Jamboree. Council Member, Bruce Nawrocld, questioned why the Lion's were called to the meeting pertaining the number of complaints yet there is only one letter of complaint. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, stated that the majority of the complaints he receives are verbal complaints. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, stated he met with the Lion's over a year ago to work on customer service. At that time he suggested that the Lion's come up with some idnd ofreasonabie way to sell a whole keg to the renter. Nothing was ever done to accommodate renters' request for this. He also feels that the Lion's should look at accommodating renters' special requests for certain brands of alcohol that they may request. Council Representative, Bruce Kelzenberg, asked the Lion's where they purchase their alcohol. Don Laufenberg stated that they purchase their alcohol from Kuether and Griggs & Cooper. When asked why they do not purchase their alcohol from the City, it was noted that due to federal law, the Lion's Club is prohibited from purchasing any alcohol from the City. Walt Fehst stated that the City could purchase and sell liquor through there own distributors at a lower cost than the Lion's Club could purchase their alcohol. No direction was taken pertaining the future of the JPM bar. P. 33 PAGE THREE JPM BUDGET City Manager, Walt Fehst, informed the Commission that the proposed 2005 budget is currently frozen at the 2004 budget level. He is proposing that Liquor take over Murzyn Hall and a different department would take over the custodial work. Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, questioned how having different departments would benefit the budget when additional staff would need to be hired. Commission Member, Jerry Foss, asked how much of this situation has been discussed with the City Council and what their feeling is. Walt Fehst noted that the City Council has been informed of this situation and they would like to look at it over the next year. Lion's Club Member, Jim Fowler, stated that he was on the Park and Recreation Board at the time of the expansion in 1985. He feels strongly that the building was built for the Cormnunity and the Lion's also had an investment in the renovation. Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, stated that currently the Recreation Department is two coordinator positions down. The Youth Recreation Coordinator position would be funded partially through the 21 st Century Grant and that both the Athletic Coordinator and the Youth Enriclunent Coordinator could be combined into one full-time position. The Recreation Director also stated that we need to provide mr~enities to attract people to the Community, both gym space and staff to program for that space. REQUEST FOR USAGE OF JPM KITCHEN BY MARINO CATERING Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, reviewed with the Commission the letter of request for usage of JPM Kitchen by Marino Catering. It is undetermined on the amount of kitchen time Marino Catering would need for prepping. Keith Windschitl indicated that we should contact the City Attorney to discuss liability concerns. Commission Chairperson, Eileen Evans, also brought up the fact that this could also impact some rentals if we already have the kitchen reserved. Motion by Foss, second by Greenhalgh to table the discussion until next Park and Recreation meeting and to have Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, obtain information from the City Attorney in regards to liabilities, h~creasing the rental amount and allotted hours. All ayes, motion carried. NEW BUSINESS 2006 JPM RENTAL RATES Recreation Director, Keith Windschitl, discussed with the Commission the Murzyn Hall rental rates for 2006. He proposed to increase security charges from $20/hour to $22/hour and to increase premix rates from $22/hour to $25/hour. All other rental rates would remain the same as 2005. Motion by Foss, second by Payne to approve increases in security and premix while the remainder of the rental fees would remain the stone from 2005 to 2006. All ayes, motion carried.

OLD BUSINESS REQUEST TO DESIGNATE "NO PARKING" IN FRONT OF 700 39TM AVENUE N.E. A Public Hearing was held to determine designating "no parking" in front of 700 39th Avenue N.E. from 6.5' east of entrance walk to west prope_rty line. The curb and gutter in front of the business at 700 39th Avenue has been painted yellow by others. Staff informed the owner that only the City Council has the authority to designate "no parking" areas. Mr. Burhans, President of St.' Paul Corrugating Company, stated that the curb had been painted yellow in the past and had faded over thne. In previous years, City employees did paint the driveway and building entrance areas yellow. The City stopped the practice in recent years. Mr. Burhans concern is safety and ease of track traffic entering the driveway. JeffHage of 701 39th Avenue and his son Jmnison, were present and indicated that restricting parking in front of 700 39th Avenue would impact on their business. They depend on street parking for their customers but don't want their customers parkbg for long lengths of time keeping parking spaces tied up for hours hindering other businesses. Their employees are directed to park in the off-street parking provided across the street at 3856 Quincy. -They suggested a 2 to 3 hour parking limit. P. 36 Official Proceedings Colmnbia Heights Traffic Commission December 6, 2004 Page 2 Mr. Jerry Swan of 682 39th Avenue indicated 'that trucks are coming down the street unloading frequently. He suggested "no parlcing" signs should be installed all along that area. Council Liaison Kelzenberg left at 6:30 p.m. Chairperson Carlson didn't think that parking should be restricted and as much space as possible be kept for trucks turning into the driveway. He suggested staff determine how many vehicles can be parked west of the sidewalk. Kathy Young stated that 20' are allowed for on-street parking and there would be room for one vehicle on the west side of the building entrance walk and room for two vehicles on the east side. Commissioner Goodman reminded members that there is a 6-hour parking ordinance in effect which is enforced. Motion by SturdeVant, second by Stumpf to designate "no parking" east of the driveway for 700 39th Avenue keeping one parking space west of the entrance walk and two parking spaces east of the entrance walk. Motion carried unanimously. Commissioner Sturdevant left at 7:00 p.m. IV. OTHER OLD BUSINESS None. NEW BUSINESS A. REQUEST TO DESIGNATE TURN LANES AT INTERSECTIONS Mr. H. Jacque Block has requested turn lanes be installed at intersections throughout Cokunbia Heights. Mr. Block's concern is that motorists are using the shoulder (parking lane) to go m'ound left-turning vehicles. He provided Reservoir Blvd. at 40th Avenue as an example of an unsafe intersection. Chairperson Carlson indicated that turn lanes installed at intersections would create a problem for homeowners as they would lose their parking in front of their homes. Mr. Block understood the situation could be difficult for homeowners should turn lanes be installed. P. 37 Official Proceedings Columbia Heights Traffic Commission December 6, 2004 Page 3 VI.

Anoka Cbunty has made a decision to continue finanCial support of sAccc/Values First through 2006 at the current 2004 level. We are hoping that the cities and schools are able to make a similar commitment. At this level of commitment, the Values First SACCC coordinator position could be continued at a 17-hour week level. This is a reduction from the current 20-hour week contract, however my understanding from the Values First Executive Committee is that this would be acceptable to Barbara Tuccitto Warren and 'that Values First would make attempts to fund additional hours through gant requests. We understand the consortium recommends the 17-hour work week be divided between Values First and SACCC, with approximately 12 hours per week for Values First and the' remaining 5 hours per week for SACCC.

After some discussion on this item, Charter Commission members asked if you would put together a memo explaining if the city has (in the past and up to the current time) required bonds ~om the City Manager, City Clerk, and other officers of the city before entering upon the duties of their offices. If the city does not, does it require some other type of assurance of performance of these officials? Also, what would your opinion of the current language in the charter be on this particular chapter and section? cb P. 79 CITY OF COLUMBIA HEIGHTS DATE: JANUARY 7, 2004 TO: JIM HOEFT CITY ATTORNEY CAROLE BLOWERS CHARTER COMMISSION SECRETARY FROM: WILLIAM ELRITE FINANCE DIRECTOR CHAPTER 2, SECTION 15 OF THE CITY CHARTER PERTAINING TO OFFICIAL BONDS This memo is written as a follow-up to Jim Hoeft's letter of October 29, 2003 and our more recent conversation. Since 1981 the City of Colmnbia Heights has not required a bond from the City Manager, City Clerk, or other officials of the City. It is mxlmown to me how far back prior to 1981 that this practice was in place. However, since 1981 the City has purchased a blanket fidelity bond covering all City employees in relationship to faithful performance coverage and employee dishonesty coverage. The exception to this was in the early 1980's when the City Council chose not to have any insurance coverage for two years. Currently the City of Columbia Heights has a blanket faithful perfonuance bond, including-employee dishonesty coverage, in the amount of $300,000 that covers all employees. In my opinion, the blanket bond cove_ring all employees may be more beneficial to the City as it covers dishonesty at all levels. Since 1981, to the besi of my knowledge, the only documented cases of dishonesty were at employee levels other than the City Manager or City Clerk and were covered by the blanket bond. In checking with the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, they have indicated that the majority of cities in the state are covered by the LMCIT and they do carry the blanket bond coverage on all employees. Subsequently, it is my recommendation that Chapter 2, Section 15 Official Bonds either be dropped or amended in one of the following ways. Alter. native I ~ To require blanket bond coverage on all employees for employee dishonesty coverage. Alternative 2 To amend the wording to state that the City Council shall establish bonding and other insurance coverage limits by resolution. Alternative 3 To set requirements in the Charter for all insurance Professional Liability, and Property Coverage. coverage to include Bonding, General Liability, During the two years that the City Council chose to go without insurance coverage they had significant liability exposure. After that two-year period, when the City Council again took out insurance coverage, it was at a mim'mal level and did not include professional liability insurance or coverage of City property. During this period of time the City was involved in the Sheffield Housing related lawsuit. Because we did not have Professional Liability coverage this lawsuit cost the city approximately $800,000. In more recent years our insurance coverage has been increased to cover property and professional liability. The City's overall exposure and financial loss could be greater in the liability coverage area than it is in the bonding area. Subsequently, if it is the goal of the Charter Conuaaission to protect the City, they may want to look at all these areas and not just bonding. 0401071LEG P. 80 ORDINANCE NO. 1480 BEING AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, SECTION 15 OF THE CHARTER OF TI:W~ CITY OF COLUIVHSIA I~!GHTS PERTAINING TO OFFICIAL BONDING The City of Columbia Heights does ordain: Section 1: Chapter 2, Section 15 of the Charter of the City of Columbia Heights which currently reads as follows, to wit: Section 15.

CDBG provides am~ual grants on a fomaula basis to Anoka County. The CDBG program has three general national objectives: 1. Benefit low- and moderate-income persons, 2. Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight, 3. Meet other community development needs that present a serious or inm~ediate threat to the health or welfare of the community. The 2005 CDBG prograln application is due to Anoka County by January 14, 2005. Anoka County will notify approved projects in April 2005, with disbursement after July 1, 2004. Staff recommends the City Council authorize submission of an application for CDBG funds for $51,927 for soil corrections at the Burger King site. During the acquisition process the Phase I environmental review indicated there might be some construction debris and other dump materials on site. ProSource Technologies estimated the cost to remove the materials at $103,854. Subsequently, the EDA required the Nath Companies, the owner of the Burger King, to escrow 50% of the estimated cost or $51,927, for up to 2 years. Therefore, staff recommends the City Council authorize the submission of a CDBG application for $51,927 for the City's share of the cost to remove the dump materials. Clean up would occur after July 1, 2005, as that is the time the funds become available. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends submitting the 2005 CDBG Program Application for soil corrections at the Burger King site at 3939 Central Avenue NE. RECOMMENDED MOTIONS: Move to waive the reading of resolution 2005-01, there being ample copies available to the public. Move to adopt Resolution 2005-01, a resolution of the City Council of the City of Columbia Heights, Minnesota authorizing application for 2005 Anoka County Comauunity Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding, for the purpose of removing slum and blight in the amount of $51,927 fox' soil corrections at 3939 Central Avenue NE; mhd furthermore, to submit said application to Anoka County.

December 1, 2004 Mr. Bob Streetar Community Development Director City of Columbia Heights 590 40~' Avenue Northeast Columbia Heights, Mhmesota 55421 Re: Cost Estimate for Dump Removal Former Burger King Restaurant Columbia Heights, Mhmesota ProSource Project No. 644-00 Dear Bob: As per your request, I've put together an estimate for additional work related to the removal of the suspected dump at the Burger King Site in Columbia Heights. As you can imagine, the biggest variable in putting together this estimate is estimating the volume of waste to be removed. Once we complete excavation of the test pits, we should have a better understanding of the size and composition of the dump materials. Until then, we've assumed that the area would only cover part of the Site and be 100' wide by 100' long by 5' deep. This translates to approximately 1,850 cubic yards of waste. In addition, we've assumed that the material would be non-regulated/non-hazardous and could be disposed of at the Onyx/Superior Landfill in Buffalo, MN. The costs shown below include test pit excavation/preparation of a letter report, preparing a Health and Safety Plm~, preparing a Development Response Action Plan (DRAP), excavation, hauling and disposal of dump materials, preparing a DRAP Implementation Report and Project Management/MPCA liaison. The cost break down is as follows: Labor $13,831 Expenses $1,593 Analytical $4,040 Contractor Mob/Demob $2,500 Excavation $11,960 Hauling $25,900 Disposal $38,480 Backfill $5,550 Total ~ ,4 / If the test pits confmn that waste is present and the chain of events proceed as we've discussed, we can provide you with a formal scope of work and more accurate cost estimate, based on the results of the test pit excavation. Please feel free to call me with any questions or comments. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, ProSource Technologies, Inc. James B. Crowl III, P.G.
